Hentges has that whole Catholic thing going. Apparently, Notre Dame is a real threat.

Example: his basketball shot is a knuckleball.
Disciplinary issue comes from an employee at HHS I've talked to that said he's frequently been summoned to principal's office or someshit.

I'd tend to place benefit of the doubt in play here, since he went through so much. He's been sick since before the start of his sophomore year of high school.
I spent a brief period of time (about 2 weeks) as a 14-year old terrified that I might have a brain tumor (eye problems). Really tough to deal with, and I wouldn't be surprised if that caused him to act out and have trouble focusing.
I was lucky enough to get a reprieve after a few weeks. He spent 2 years going through chemo with his life on the line and feeling terrible.
